i decided to use a custom xorg.conf(from a deb lenny installation), because aptosid can't seem to render my display properly. For one, aptosid doesnt seem to use the radeon firmware. And current my display is set at 1360x768 @ 60hz, but I prefer 1440x1050 or 1600x1200.

What is the recommend way to my display at my preferred sizes?

usualy you do not need a xorg.conf if you use the radeon driver.

in the systemsettings/display (reached from the launcher menu) you can specify the size you want for your display. the "save as default" button at the bottom [choose save as default] will save the setting for you.

the gui will do everything for you. you don't need to fiddle with an xorg.conf
